Abstract:Vitellaria paradoxa Gaertn. is a commonly used medicinal plant for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) and other respiratory infections in Africa. Therefore, its phytochemicals can be explored in rational drug discovery, development, and design against respiratory-tract infections. The aim of this study is to identify chemical composition of V. paradoxa hexane stem-bark extract, and further isolate possible antimicrobial agents from its crude extract. 48 phytochemicals, including1-heptacosanol, 2-nonenal, (E)-,… Show more
